Otherwise, here is a general rule: Socket7 - AMD, Cyrix, Intel (133-266 MHz) Super7 - K6 ( ~450MHz) Socket 370 - PIII, Celeron (~133MHz) SocketA - AMD Slot1 - PII, PIII, Celeron SlotA - Athlon (~800MHz) This is a general guide only and may be slightly different to motherboard vendors reccomendations, which you should follow. |
